I was training in the 4x2 patch of grass once while I was bored and I encountered a Shiny Tangela, I was so excited and when that Ultra ball went *Click* I almost laughed of excitement It's bizarre, I'm 18, play shooter games and horror games, but when I find a shiny my heart races more XD

Oh, welcome back, Nomad! I've missed seeing you post and show your new shinies. Hope you have a successful hunt soon! ^^

It feels like it's been forever, but I finally have a new 4th Gen shiny I can post about .

Copypasting from the General Shiny Thread:

Oh my gosh, yes!!! After months of SRing between my different targets, I finally have a new shiny, and my first one of the New Year ^_^

And it is...

Spoiler:- *insert drumroll here* XD:

GROUDON!!! After 5597 SRs.

I was helping my little brother on Little Big Planet Karting, soft resetting at the same time inbetween races by balancing my 3DS on my lap XD. I'd just finished a really tight race and was cheering after coming 1st, when I glanced down and got an even bigger shock of seeing a gold Groudon and the sparkling animation cross my screen!! Talk about a victory timing!

I was pretty nervous while capturing it, especially since I didn't have a Master Ball if he started getting too low on PP, but it went smoother than I thought it would. I tried a Quick Ball first which he broke out of straight away and knocked out Esper. After that I switched to my Mightyena, Wolf, and kept using Super Fang to get his health down when he used Rest. After throwing a couple of balls, I managed to catch him I'm happy because I managed to get him in a Heavy Ball, which looks cooler and works better than Dusk Balls on heavier Pokemon anyway~

My Adamant sync worked, which is great. IVs are:

HP: 16/17
ATT: 31 (!)
DEF: 6/7
SP ATT: 14/15
SP DEF: 26/27
SPD: 28/29

I can't believe how lucky I've gotten with that Attack, and Speed is nearly max as well. Heck, apart from Defense he's got pretty nice IVs all around. I'm so happy right now <3 after having a pretty bad time last week for a couple of reasons, this has really made my day.

Woah, Was so tired of MMing in my White 2, and tried chaining in my Old Game Pearl
Got Shiny Roselia on 47th for almost 3 hours of chaining
a Week after
Shiny Ponyta on 50th , i continued the chain and got another on 62nd , so its really possible to get 2 or more shiny in 1 chain. Like
They are my only shinies aside from free Shiny Dratini in White 2,

I'm glad people still is finding shinies! Those rare, different colored pokemons are so pretty! So here is my story: I stopped using the pokeradar some weeks ago (became kinda boring, wanted to do something new), and started soft resetting in my heartgold.

Finally, after weeks of SR'ing, i got it! I was watching TV, and when i looked down i couldn't believe my own eyes. A red/pink Lugia! Tried to capture it in a pokeball to match the color, but i got scared when it only had Safeguard left, so i used my Masterball. Stats? Not the best but absolutely not the worst!

I know this is not catching them but a friend is moving away and he has given me his copy of HG and there are at least 100 shinys on it! They seem to be legit, he has pumped over 300 hours into the game! Delighted with this goldmine!

Hunting with pokeradar a vulpix...after 7 chain a shiny appeared!Then i remembered that its had roar but luckily i caught it with 4 shots .It has Timid nature!Also i was chaining eevee at the trophy garden and after 3 chain a shiny appeared!But unluckily this time after 1 pokeball my ds turned off cause to battery .

I've gotten the vast majority of my shiny Pokemon through chaining on my Platinum. I've recently taken a break from it to try to get some shinies out of the Masuda Method. Needless to say, I'm already missing the chaining.

So, I was hunting and level grinding in HG to evolve my Totodile before Falkner. I beat the Sprout Tower and it evolved, of course. I then decided to unlock the primo gifts and get a Slugma egg.

I got it and ran around in order to hatch it, but whilst doing so, I look to my HeartGold game...and out pops a shiny Bellsprout on the 10,463rd RE! Anyways, I have images of Bellsprout (and Hoothoot) here. Enjoy:

Got a full Chingling chain going on my first try while I was at work last night. Managed to pull one Chingling out of it. I was hoping to grab two, but I broke the chain because I wasn't paying attention. I'm thinking I'll go back for that last Chingling tonight, and maybe a Zubat, too.

I've been on a shiny hunt for my boyfriend lately, so I decided to chain for a lot of them and SR for only a few. A couple days ago, I chose to go after Corsola. My chains kept breaking in the mid 20-30s a few times, it was a huge pain in the neck. :P However, I did manage to keep going with my last chain, and obtained shinies on the 26th and 33rd encounters. I started resetting around 38, got it up to 40, and managed to come out of there with 8 shiny Corsola. :) I was running low on Ultra/Dusk Balls more than Max Repels and thought that I had more than enough shinies. I kept chaining for whatever reason a bit after, but I didn't pay too much attention and ended up breaking my chain at 50. Oh, well. Still got a bunch of nice blue rocks to show for.

Hmm...Looks like Spinda's swarming right now. Guess it's the one I'm going after next since I'm too lazy to change the hour~

I was hoping to get a few Pokemon out of the Trophy Garden, especially Eevee, but its appearance rate is so low that I couldn't even find one after a good hour or so of resetting.

Started SRing for Piplup back in January and finally got it in April. I was training on Route 203 which I also planned to hunt on (for Shinx), and before I'd even gotten to the first gym, I found a shiny Starly (one of my targets, but I was hoping to get Shinx out of the way first), and that was only 101 REs into the game (keeping track of all encounters). Went on to beat the next two gyms so I wouldn't have to worry about finding a shiny too early, and not long after beating the second gym, I found a shiny Machop. Then mid-May I found Bidoof in Route 203, who was also one of my main targets (I'd wanted Piplup, Starly, Shinx, and Bidoof).

So now I'm half-way through my BQ with 4 shinies, still hunting in Route 203 for Shinx, the last pokemon I need to have all the main ones I was hoping for when first starting the BQ.

So I'm doing a nuzlocke challenge for heart gold. When I was level grinding to battle Clair I found a shiny gligar while I was hanging with my friends. Then just yesterday when I was level grinding to fight Red I found a Shiny Golbat. I named it Lisa after my Crobat which died against Blue.
